Information about data transfer to the USA and other third countries

We also use tools provided by companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure countries under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in such third countries. Please note that it is not possible to guarantee the same level of data protection in such countries as in the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action to prevent them sharing your data. It is therefore not possible to rule out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, analyse and permanently store your data that is on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent given previously at any time. The lawfulness of the processing of data up to the date of withdrawal remains unaffected by withdrawal.

THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IS PROVIDED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

Under the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right of access free of charge at any time to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to have your data corrected (rectified) or deleted (erased).

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. You have a right to restriction of processing in the following cases:

  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion (erasure).
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion (erasure).
  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests are overriding, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – other than its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or on the grounds of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
